450,000 years ago, the Anunnaki arrived on Earth in search of precious resources, bringing with them 600 workers known as the lgigi. These workers spread across ancient Africa, establishing infrastructures that allowed the Anunnaki to exploit the continent's rich mineral wealth. The Igigi, depicted with long beards, flowing hair, and wings, were a lower rank of deities, predating humanity and often likened to angels.

As told in the Akkadian myth of Atrahasis, the lgigi were burdened with immense labor by the Anunnaki, highlighting their subordinate status. The Anunnaki's relentless quest for gold, vital for their survival, eventually led to the gigi's rebellion. To ease their burden, humans were created to take over the laborious tasks.

This story intertwines myth and speculation, offering a glimpse into how ancient civilizations might have perceived divine intervention and the origins of humanity.
